About Me

Ciao, I am Sonia, from Basilicata (southern Italy).
As well as teaching Italian to foreigners, I work in journalism. I have also worked as a translator and proofreader.
I love travelling and I have lived abroad several times (Europe, Canada, Middle East).
I have a degree in Communication and Journalism and I am a certified Italian teacher (CEDILS - Teaching Italian as a Second or Foreign Language/ESL).
I am easy going and flexible, willing to adapt the lessons to your learning needs.Me as a Teacher
I like planning lessons and materials with my students, in order to create a relaxing and even fun-filled study environment. I like teaching using material such as songs, comics, news articles, and movies, which I found very useful for learning the Italian language but also for exploring the Italian culture.
I can also adapt my schedule to my students.My lessons & teaching style
The first lesson is for me to know your goals and aims, and to decide together how to achieve them. I work by planning an individual learning program on grammar, pronunciation, writing, listening, conversation. I think homework assignments could help the learning process, but my first goal for you is helping you in overcoming the fear of talking in a foreign language, which I experienced myself. I can offer casual conversations in Italian, as well as teaching about grammar and syntax, writing in both formal and informal style. I really enjoy using newspapers as a teaching material, since they offer the opportunity to dig a bit the Italian culture either.My teaching material

I thoroughly enjoyed my Italian learning experience with Sonia Grico. Her teaching style not only made the lessons enjoyable but also remarkably easy to understand. Sonia's patience and encouragement stood out, making the learning process both comfortable and motivating. If you're in search of a good Italian tutor, I highly recommend her.
